The William Shatner Appreciation Society was established to honor William Shatner, and is the only authorized club for him. The W.S.A.S. is an international organization, and the only club through which official information is released. The purpose of the club is to unite people who like Mr. Shatner, and keep them up to date on what he is doing now, as well as what he has done in the past.
